You should ask the user that compiled it I guess.

hello or can we find a newer version than the 2015-04-19

dfort · « **Reply #802 on:** September 20, 2015, 02:22:50 AM »

There are a few test builds floating around but the best way to get the latest and greatest EOSM build is to grab the code and roll your own. It isn't really that difficult. If you are on a Windows system I just put up a tutorial that should be fairly easy to follow.

http://magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=15845.msg154356;topicseen#msg154356

Notice that the source that I pointed to in that article has all the pending EOSM related pull requests merged in.

If you are on a Mac like me you'll need to install the free Xcode app and if you are on Linux, well that is the easiest of all to setup. There should be plenty of help in the General Development Discussion section of the forum.

Hello, i wonder if there is any way to get ML for EOS M 2? Or is it maybe someone trying to do it?

I followed the tutorial and built ML but all of the modules failed and aren't present in the menu. How do I enable modules for RAW?

That's odd. Are you on Windows or Mac? Did you clone my EOSM__working branch? What is the error? Most likely it is rst2html not found but that shouldn't happen if you followed my instructions. I did update the branch this morning so you might try it again.

Code: [Select]

cd ~/magic-lantern

Code: [Select]

hg pull

Code: [Select]

hg update
I posted a couple of other tutorials showing how to set up different build environments. If one of these won't work for you try another. It doesn't really take much time to set up, I've done it many times while preparing the tutorials.

Cygwin (your best choice and you don't need the Windows specific changes for this one to work)
http://magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=15894.msg154435;topicseen#msg154435

Original MinGW (some people might prefer this but you need the Windows changes to the source code for this to work)
http://magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=15845.msg154394#msg154394

By the way, let's stay on topic (EOS-M) and continue compiling discussions in their appropriate topic.

Hey there!

Been lurking for a while, and am glad to join in the conversation. I'm relatively new to ML.. only been using it for a few months. It's quickly become indispensible. I bought an EOS M exclusive;y as a guinea pig for ML, and have not regreted it.

I do have one consistent problem with the interface. I have difficulty changing the default values of some options. Let's take the FPS Override function. Turning on the mod edefaults to 2.5 fps. I'm unabl eto change that value. What buton combo do need in order to change values lke that? (In this particular case, I also don't get the submenu that lets me adjust the Jello effect... you can guess I wanna try the slit-scan effect)

I've got ML installed on my t4i as well, and there are enough butons on there that it was easy to find how to tweak those settings, but on the EOS M, nothing I try seems to work. is there a magic button combo?

I have searched the forum for this info - sorry if its someplace super easy to locate (though the search tool doesn't like to search for the term "eos m").. I just couldn't find it.

Thanks SO MUCH for any help. I've become a huge ML fan, and am psyched to get even more out of it once I know how to make these tweaks.

Thans again!

Wow, your first post--welcome!

I also bought an EOS-M to try out Magic Lantern and it has worked out great.

To search for answers I use Google. For example, this gave me several hits:

Code: [Select]

site:magiclantern.fm eos-m q button
The M uses a touch screen. You probably already know that a two finger touch brings up the ML menu, as does the Trash if you hold it for about a second. To get to a submenu touch the "Q" with one finger.

You have to be quick, the menu disappears after a few seconds. That's a known issue that also affects the 6D, 700D and 70D.

EDIT: I was able to build ML with all of the modules using the Cygwin guide.

BTW I am building on Windows 10 Pro 64bit using Cygwin/MinGW-w64. Thank you for all of your help!

Your PM says:

I was able to build ML with the Modules with your commit for the cleaned up windows code.

Yay! Now EOS-M users don't have to wait until a1ex gets back to get the latest (unofficial) updates.

Don't worry about all the warning messages the build process spews out, unless it stops with an "Error 1" you're probably ok.

bohus · « **Reply #810 on:** September 23, 2015, 07:03:57 PM »

@ Dfort

Thanks for the nice welcome, and the reply! of course I should have used Google to do the search for me. Duh.

Id been using the touchscren to bring up ML, but it idn't occur to me to try it for getting submenus. It totally works, and I feel a little foolish for not working it out. Even using these features at their default values, I've been blown away. Now tha I can actually adjust stuff, I can already see that I'm going to be very vey busy.

What kinda stinks is that ML is realy spoiling me for other cameras. I have an URSA, and yearn for the inds of thing that are in ML. There's so much processor power to spare in that camera, I've got to think that ML could really make that camera into a powerhouse. As I've been using ML, I've wondered "where is the single camera that all these features are inspired by?" Simply amazing stuff... (I defintiely have to look into that open source 4K cinema camera where ML is going to be native. That alone is enough to inspire real interest in that 4k camera project for me).

Two questions...

I see you referencing a compile that's fairly recent. How can I check it against the version of ML that I've got installed now? Just to see where I am in the scheme of things...

Neither my t4i no the EOS M benefit from ML's advanced audio features. Just the VU meters are a lifesaver, so I'm not for a second complaining. I'm just curious whether it's a hardware limitation, or whether it's just an area that requires more development than it's worth right now.

dfort · « **Reply #811 on:** September 23, 2015, 07:26:43 PM »

Here are the latest commits to the unified branch--that is what gets pushed out in the nightlies. Note that EOS-M nightlies are still frozen but as you can see we can work around that:

https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/commits/branch/unified

To see what is in the works check out the current pull requests:

https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/pull-requests/

And to watch out for any bumps on the road, the bug reports--these are the new and open ones for the EOS-M:

https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/issues?status=new&status=open&version=EOS-M

As for the advanced audio features--yes, it is a hardware limitation. The 5D mark III probably has the most features available but it is still amazing how many features made it into the EOS-M.

Different hardware.

Now... the M10 on the other hand

godashram · « **Reply #817 on:** October 15, 2015, 01:25:32 AM »

M2 was JUST dumped today http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=15895.0

I'd assume the M10 would be similar enough to the M3, and stuck with CHDK.

Is there anyway to use your smartphone as a monitor with your EOS M?

I know of the app called "DSLR Controller" but it won't work on EOS M because of Canon have crippled remote functions of M. I was wondering could it somehow work with MHL adapter and MHL enabled phone?

If not suggest a reasonable priced "field monitor" for me, mainly to check focus. It should be rather small, under <6" preferably.

It is done all the time on movie sets. Most devices draw from the HDMI output and transmit through a wireless network. There's a delay and it isn't cheap though. Here's just one company that makes systems:

Interesting product, never heard of it. Of course you already found out that the EOSM can't be controlled remotely.

The Frugal Filmmaker usually has some good suggestions. You can even send him email and he'll answer.

One gotcha is that your live view will probably be useless when you plug into the HDMI output.

i don't see the m listed, but the m2, m3 and m110 are, so it's worth a shot.

First post here. I just acquired an EOS M and thought I would compile Magic Lantern to start playing around with it. I followed the instructions on this page

http://magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=15894.msg154435;topicseen#msg154435

to setup my Cygwin environment and after running make clean && make zip I get the following error.

../../src/fps-engio.c:237:6: error: #error fixme: FPS_TIMER_B_MIN and FPS_TIMER_B_MIN are plain wrong
#error fixme: FPS_TIMER_B_MIN and FPS_TIMER_B_MIN are plain wrong
^
../../src/fps-engio.c:295:12: warning: 'fps_timer_b_method' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]
static int fps_timer_b_method = 0;
^
../../Makefile.filerules:23: recipe for target 'fps-engio.o' failed
make: *** [fps-engio.o] Error 1

I primarily a Java developer, so I'm not completely familiar with C development, but from looking at the code, this seems to be a directive that will always fail.

Is there not a working branch/revision for the EOSM that can compile right now?
